Outlines MT8820C Radio Communications Analyzer MD8475A 2G to 4G/LTE Signaling Tester MD8430A LTE Signaling Tester MF6900A Baseband Fader ME7873L LTE RF Conformance Test System MG3710A Vector Signal Generator (VSG)

MT8820C Radio Communications Analyzer Is a multi-standard 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE tester with capability for UE calibration, RF parametric testing, and functional testing, including call processing or no-call based testing. The MT8820C makes testing of LTE physical layer parameters easy and simple, including measurement of both TX and RX parameters Options are available for 2x2 MIMO including IP-layer throughput at up to 150 Mbps downlink data and options for LTE-Advanced including downlink data rates up to 300Mbps

MD8475A 2G to 4G/LTE Signaling Tester Is an all-in-one Network Simulator supporting LTE FDD, W-CDMA, GSM/(E)GPRS, and CDMA2000. It supports service and call-processing tests for multimode LTE smartphones and mobiles with excellent cost-performance A wide range of test environments are supported for the general mobile verification phase, such as max. throughput performance tests, stress tests, and battery consumption tests of multimode LTE mobiles using 2x2 MIMO, as well as LTE-W-CDMA and LTE-GSM

MD8430A LTE Signaling Tester The MD8430A is the first complete LTE Signaling Tester, allowing for simulation of multiple Evolved Node B (eNBs) with both 2x2 and 4x2 MIMO, as well as portions of the LTE Core Network. it allows for protocol-based testing of LTE UEs at RF and higher layers, and can it be automated with the user’s choice of 3 PC-based user interfaces (UIs) including the graphical Rapid Test Designer (RTD. it allows for FPGA-based prototype testing at either sub-speed or real-time, and helps speed time to market for LTE wireless devices

MF6900A Baseband Fader The MF6900A Fading Simulator provides a stable, repeatable faded testing environment when connected to the MD8430A using a baseband interface. The MF6900A can also be used in LTE mode with the MD8475A or in W-CDMA mode with the MD8480C. Once connected, it provides a simple and accurate way to add fading profiles to any test scenario under either SISO or MIMO conditions.

ME7873L LTE RF Conformance Test System The ME7873L LTE RF Conformance Test System allows the user to verify conformance of a UE’s RF layer to 3GPP LTE standards. The LTE RF Conformance Test System (ME7873L) is a modular system to fit with user requirements, and can include 3GPP TS tests for (TX), and (RX). It support for both FDD, TDD and Inter-RAT tests including LTE to GSM/UMTS/CDMA2000, and UMTS to LTE.

MG3710A Vector Signal Generator (VSG) The MG3710A Vector Signal Generator is a best-in-class, high-function signal generator with excellent RF and baseband performance. Generates up to four independent signals. Fast switching speed (<600 uS) Supports Multipath Fading and MIMO testing Analog and digital modulation signal generation up to 160 MHz bandwidth Supports modulation analysis, including – LTE/LTE-Advanced – CDMA–W-CDMA–WiMAX– GSM–TD-SCDMA– 802.11a/b/g/j/n/p/ac
